ON THE BRINE.'s
The Temperance Reform Club Play to a
Large and Appreciative Audience.

The Temperance Reform Club Play to a
Large and Appreciative Audience.
The immense crowd that assembled in
the Opera House on Thursday night last
was compliment to the excellent perform
ance, and substantial testimony of the
worthy character of the cause. The play
entitled "On the Brink was temperance
drama, very much on the line of Ten
Nights in Bar Room" The whole per-
formance was cleverly rendered, but Miss
Annie Barham, in the role of Roxalena,'
seemed to be the favorite of the house.
Her vivacious and sparkling manner, and
the ease and selfpossession she displayed in
the rendition of the difficult part she took,
called forth peal after peal of applause, and
with Mr.. Tom Newton as compliment the
pair would do credit to themselves starring
in professional company. Mr.. Newton's
drollery was irresistible, and showed he
possessed decided talent as comedian.
The Twin-City Band made their debut on
the occasion, and furnished music at the
door. The Salem Orchestra played inside,
and their music was perfect entertainment
in itself and well worth the price of admis-
sion.
The proceeds, which amounted to 800, &c
for the benefit of the Reform Club.
The entertainment was a gratifying sue
cess every way, and reflected much credit
ON DIR. Blum, who faithfully managed it,
preparation and execution.

A Frosse that didn't Paw.

Two young bucks from the country were
cruising around town last Thursday night,
with pretty full head of " red eye" aboard,
and happened to fall in with two ladies
who were waiting near the Farmers ware
house for two gentlemen to come up with
buggies, in which they had come from the
country to attend the performance at the
Opera house. The two roughs went up to
the ladies and made themselves insultingly
familiar, whereupont the ladies both called Out
to the young men who were getting the horses
ready. They ran to the spot and over
powered the two worthless and called 8
police and turned them over to him. Al
the hearing before Mayor Wilson, the next
morning, they we're let off with $40 anc
cost.

Accidentlv Shot.

On last Thursday evening James, son of
DR.. J. A. Blum, while out hunting with a
gun, met with sad and painful accident.
He had leaned the gun against his chest,
with the muzzle pointing upward, and his
hand over the muzzle. In jerking the gun
suddenly up, the hammer was caught, dis
charging the whole load into his hand, a
few shot entering the neck and face. The
third and little finger were torn almost
entirely away. so that amputation was neces-
sary, and 1t was at first feared that the whole
hand would be lost The doctor reports,
however, that he hopes he will be able to
save the hand.

Cruelty to Animals.

One meets with some strange and unac-
countable Inconsistencies among the busy
haunts of humanity. Any day there may
hay and forage drawn by lean and half
starved horses who look ready to fall in the
street from sheer lack of enough to eat.
Now, in the first place, it is sin and a
shame to starve dumb and helpless brute
till it has barely enough vitality to keep
life in it, and in the second place it is worse
to force the starving animal to haul over a
rough road to market load of food that he
is suffcring for.

Ell PAso, October 1.-THE Galveston,

express, which left here this evening,
was stopped four miles east of this city
by three masked men. While two COW
cred the engineer and fireman with
their revolvers, the third ran back
to the mail car and threw a
bomb against the door, causing an ex-
plosion, which shattered the door and
side of the car into splinters. The
agent was dazed and badly frightened
by the shock, but uninjured. He re-
covered himself, however, to pour
charge from a double barrelled
shot gun into the breast of the
robber, who had jumped into the car
killing him Instantly. The two on the
engine, hearing the report, fed, the mail
agent firing the remaining load after
them. The train then returned to FL

What Mr.. Depew Did Say.

CLEVELAND, O., October 14.-Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew arrived in this city this
evening with Vanderbilt, inspecting.
He was shown the dispatch which had
been widely circulated as an interview
with him in st. Louis, in which he was
quoted as predicting financial panic
about to overtake the country. This
dispatch was used with very good effect
on Wall Street by the bears to-day.
Mr.. Depew said to an Associated Press
representative that the young man who
interviewed him in st. Louis totally
failed to catch the drift of his re-
msrks. He had spoken disparagingly
of the land speculation fever, and said
he thought railroad construction in the
northwest this seas vas somewhat
ahead of the countr. requirements,
but" he added, "th5I, is no more
danger of panic than there is of an
earthquake in this depot.''

A PIE THAT WAS A PIE.
A Peculiar Feature of the Jubilee
Celebration.

On Saturday the Queens Jubilee was
celebrated in novel fashion at DENLY
Dale, near Huddersfeld. DENLY Dale
has for long time been celebrated for
its pies. In 1888 there was one baked
in commemorstion of King George the
Thirds recovery; another was baked in
1916 in honour of the peace; and the
third was in 1916 in celebration of the
repeal of the Corn Laws, and now pie
has been baked which is described as
without equal in the annals of pie max
ing. On Saturday a crowd of people
flocked to DENLY Dale from Bradford.
Huddersfeld, Barnsley Penistone and
the small villages within radius of
eight or nine miles, and early before
noon people took up position outside
the barriers which had been erected to
keep off the crush while the old people
of the village of DENLY Dale and the
school children of DENLY, Denly Dale,
and CumberWorth were being served
with portions of the pie. The baking
took place in special oven, and the
pie was feet IN diameter, and 2 feet
deep, and contained "a stones of -four,
1850 pounds of beef, 100 pounds of
mutton, 16O pounds of veal, $50 pounds
of lamb, $50 pounds of pork, 100 pounds
of lard, so pounds eff butter, 80 couples
of rabbits, 8 hares, AZ fowls 40 pigeons,
II grouse, 81 ducks, plovers, turkey
5 geese, and 100 small birds; together
with 80 eggs and 40 stones of potatoes,
40 pounds of beef suet, and 40 pounds
of dripping. The pie weighed about
two tons five or six cwt. In the morn
ing it was taken on stone cart, drawn
by ten horses, to field called Norman
Park. Directly the pie had been taken
under one end of the tent in which it
was to be served to the people, the
strong wooden barriers against which
the crowd pressed gave way, and surg
ing multitudes rushed into the tent up
to the stone cart, and there ensued a
scene of great confusion. In YAM were
the people appealed to. The stronger
the appeal the more they crushed into
the tent, and the crust rapidly disap-
peared, being either given or forcibly
taken away, and it was not until a
promise had been made that when the
old people and children had been served
the pie should be brought into the field
and distributed, that the hungry mob
would be appeased. In the evening
there was display of 6reworks.-Eng-
IiSh Exchange.

Extensive Frauds in Mexico

CITY OF Mexico, October 4.-Infor-
nation was given to-day of the discov-
cry by the Treasury Department of ex-
tensive forgery of power of attorney
in transferring credits against the gov
eminent. Government will lose moth
ing. A number of persons have been ar
rested in connection with the affair.
One transfer of credit involved $149. 600
and series of signatures has been
forged. Other arrests are likely to be
made tonight and tomorrow. Large
amounts of the forged paper have been
sold here. A startling report, probably
based on the above announcement, get
into circulation to-day, to the effect
that forged government bonds to the
amount of 100000 had been discov-
cred. The report was denied by Minis
ter of Finance Dublan.

DENVER, October IA united effort
is being made upon the part of the
merchants of Denver to have the dis
elimination against the commerce of
this city by the railroad companies
remedied. AS the Colorado Pool Asso-
Citations meets In Chicago on Monday
with the Central Traffic Association, Il
movement was inaugurated at the
meering of the Chamber of Commerce
for the purpose of securing revision of
tine rates to and from Denver,
demand that the latter be
paced on an equal footing and
accorded the same privileges as Omaha,
Kansas City, and Ell Paso, Texas. The
Produce Exchange claim that nearly all
classes of goods can be shipped from
the Missouri River to California and
Oregon at lower rates than thew can be
shipped from the Missouri River to
Denver, and the same things exists from
westward. The rate from San Fran
cisco to Missouri River points on fifth
class freight is 81 40per 100 pounds, and
from San Francisco to Denver the
same class is $1.70 per 100 pounds.
The rate on sugar from San Francisco
to Missouri River points is go cents per
100 pounds, and from San Francisco to
Denver $1.3o per 100 pounds. The
rate from Omaha to Wrsy, 100 miles
east of Denver, is 95 cents per 100
pounds, and the rate from Omaha to
Denver $1.25, and the rate from Denver
to Wray $1.25, thus making difference
of S1.55 in favor of Omaha or differ
ence of about $50 per cent. Several
other instances were cited in which they
claim rates to be outrageous.

Chamberlain on the Stump.

LONDON, October a. Chamberlain
speaking at Rush Mills, County An
trim. to-day, said it was not the upper
classes but the poorer classes of Ulster
that opposed the Parnellite proposals.
He admitted part of the north of Ire
land was strongly in favor of home rule,
but was certain if he could infuse into the
people of Donegal the same resolute law
abiding disposition as that shown by the
people of Antrim, the outcry for great
constitutional changes would be little
heard. If it were decided ultimately
that home rule is desirable for the south
of Ireland, that would not justify the
imposition of home rule on Ulster,
which under no circumstances would
submit to it.
